Severe symptoms including back pain, weight loss, nausea, fatigue, and others. Please help.

Hello. I am an 18 year old female who has been experiencing worsening symptoms for a long time now and am at a loss. I have gone to so many doctors, had so many tests, gotten so much blood drawn, and no one has offered me any answers. I have been wrongly diagnosed with a host of things, basically because no one has taken the time to actually figure out what's wrong. For nearly a year now, I have felt terrible, every day. At first I thought maybe I was just being dramatic. That everything was probably fine. But now things have continued to get worse and my quality of life has been severely reduced. I can't handle living this way any more.

Symptoms:
-Lost about 40 lbs in the past 6 months with no changes in diet or physical activity
- Worsening stomach problems (diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, feeling sick after eating, loss of appetite, ect)
- Abdominal pains
- Worsening upper back pain (which is now so severe I am in constant pain and even find it hard to sleep because of it)
- Extreme fatigue
- Weakness
- General soreness all over my body, including tenderness to the touch
- Easy bruising and extremely slow healing
- Dizziness
- Headaches
- Depression? (Could possibly be due to changes in environment, but I have become very emotionally imbalanced and it feels like something chemically wrong rather than emotionally.)

I know now that SOMETHING is definitely very wrong. I just desperately want to find what it could be. I can't live like this anymore.
If anyone can offer anything that might help, I would be very thankful. XD

From what you describe it definitely is obvious that this condition – whatever it is – is making your life impossible and you just can’t really convince yourself now that this is all nothing. Were you given any medication for any of these diagnosis you were given? And what did the doctors suspected it was? You probably need to find yourself a good doctor who will know where to send you for the tests because without them no one really can guess what it is. And I think you definitely would have much use from seeing a therapist or a counselor, not because the condition itself until you find out what it is, but in order to learn how to become stronger mentally and how to deal with symptoms and doctors.

For the past 6 weeks my 14 year old daughter (will be 15 in 2 weeks) has had many of the symptoms that many of you had/have. Pain in her stomach area about a little below her rib cage, she describes it as a "tight" feeling or "pressure", and it does hurt to press on it. She is also always tired (she just went to bed at 830pm); she is also constantly nauseous and feeling like she wants to throw up but she never does. After she eats anything, even a Hershey's Kiss, she feels more nauseous. Even two spoons of yogurt for b'fast make her feel sicker. She has had some tests done but no results yet. She sees a Gastroenterologist on Friday

A couple of months ago she did have a sore throat and fever so we will check for Mono.

The only thing that changed is that 4 days before these symptoms started, she had her 3rd HPV vaccine of Gardasil. Since all of you are females you might want to check your shot records to see if and when you might have had the shot. You can also Google for Gardasil side effects and check Facebook about Gardasil pages to see if you have anything in common.
